New Eastern Court in Wakefield

felt like staff accused us of trying to take food home as soon as we got there, we did not even have a bag with us so not sure where we were going to put it, ordered a gin and tonic at the bar and because they pored a pink gin automatically they tried to make us take that over the drink we ordered even though they knew this was not what we ordered

A bit salty Overall is average!

The food was great, plenty of selection to choose from, went about 18:30 and wasn't to busy but got a lot busier as the evening went on, which was fine cos there are plenty of tables, the only thing I didn't like was the chairs, they weren't very comfy at all, but I would go again

There is not very much food selection for a buffet. Candy bar is all frozen sweets. Atmosphere there is very loud and staff keep banging plates and forks

Brilliant 'All you can eat' restaurant, plenty of choice, excellent quality, would highly recommend

Been a few times and always lovely but the last time we went the food was only Luke warm. We did tell the manager and he said he had checked it and it was warm. We went back and it was still Luke warm at best!

An "eat all you can" Chinese near to Xscape at Castleford. On entering you walk up to the bar and are asked what you want to drink and then charged for your these and your meal. You are then told a table number and you go find it. Having never eaten here it was quite confusing on entering and rather unwelcoming. There was a large selection of food although I would say it was mediocre. With regards to value for money, I'd say it was expensive, whilst a number of the other customers were making full use of the "all you can eat", and this shows, I'd rather not stuff out on por food so didn't actually eat that much. The place was busy, lots of groups celebrating birthdays etc, just not really my cup of tea.

Beautiful place, wonderful variety of food with an all you can eat buffet, it's a good idea to book ahead, it can get very busy

Went at around half 1 which is the perfect time to go, wasn't too busy, food was fresh and so lovely

One of the best buffets I have visited.

Been many times. The food is always good. A self serve buffet with a wide variety of freshly cooked favourites.

Like a cattle market!! Kids running about while busy, 1 member of staff pushed past me and another member of staff ran over my foot with the food trolley and just looked at me as if I shouldn't have been in the food que. It's the only place I've ever known that you have to pay for the kids food by the height of the child!! It cost £90 odd for 2 adults, 1 x 13yr old and 1 x 9 Yr old and 2 drinks each, we went for my sisters birthday and they brought her cake then 15 mins later they fetched someone else's cake too!!!!!

Ample buffet spread, sweets not so great. Busy but quickly seated. Lovely.Jubbly.

Help yourself service, with plenty to choose from.

Friendly staff , hot food, staff are attentive and fast to refill empty containers. Great variety. Loved it here

Foods fresh and hot loads of choice deserts are also very nice and drinks aren't overpriced plates could be a little larger as always end up with a mountain on mine 😀

All you can eat, exactly that! If you're going during a busy time like I did it can be very overwhelming, as kids sometimes don't enjoy busy scenarios. However I would like to say the food was available in all areas, some ABIT dry but the rest was awesome. Service was hard to get, but a friendly staff member did point out where the water is for our little girl who needs to have a drink after she drank her fruit shoot too quickly. The atmosphere was very busy none stop with the car park full and ques to get in. If you like all you can eat you must try this place. See what you think?

Lovely food lots of choice, helpful and friendly staff, Excellent in pointing out food for the Vegans in our party. Really good for family get togethers. And excellent value for money

Been here countless times, they maintain the quality of foods they serve at buffet, even for a picky eater, there’s food to fancy. Dessert is good, although, the snacks/pastries can be better, somewhat dry

Beautiful fresh food, friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Decent quality food and selection but overpriced in my opinion.

Food was tasty and hot, staff barge past you to refill. Waste bin near the food is not ideal. Toilets were disgusting! The place was rammed with people acting like they’ve never eaten before. Won’t return

Nice buffet food that's tasty and decent quality. The staff work hard keeping the tables cleared and are polite. I would just say that because it gets so busy, it kinda feels like a fast food place, not a restaurant. I also feel its become quite pricey. Me, my daughter and my partner had an evening buffet and one drink each and it cost £72.

Woman on front desk is lovely and jolly! Some other male staff however need some customer service training! Food is OK on & off depending on what you have. Need a drink refill machine in my opinion instead of having to buy a new drink again. Desserts are bog standard.

Very welcome and very helpful and lovely food

Excellent choice of Food and the standard was brilliant. Ignore negative reviews. Service was very good and staff polite and helpful. Definitely recommended

First time here would definitely go again couldn’t fault it 👌🏻

Been here a few times now, really good for £20! Staff are quick with clearing dishes from tables when you’ve finished. Only thing I would say is I recommend getting a bit of food at a time, by the time you’re back at your table it can be cold, other than that, if you can never decide what to get from a takeaway, it’s definitely worth going here :)

Too salty to eat. Worst experience

Been going there for 10years I love it

very good very nice , food was yummy

They took extra money off our account because we were 11 in number and we were charged for 13 people which is totally disgusting. Never going back there

The worst chinese iv ever been to . If the price and quality of food wasn't bad enough I was left with the worst case of the shitz for 24 hours which smelt exactly the same as the beef in black bean sauce .

Best and biggest buffet I've ever been to, food was piping hot and kept replenished, tables were cleared quickly and friendly service from staff, great desserts too, we'll be going regularly now we've found the place.

Best in the areaa by far always fresh and loads on offer big desert selection as well.

Beautiful food hot well cooked tastes very nice and choices are plenty full been a few times we are going again tonight . .

A great experience and lovely service from the staff the food is fresh and perfect absolute nothing wrong with anything and I definitely will be returning

All you can eat wot more do I need to say 😄

I enjoyed every meal I had with my baby. I also plan to return back soon with my entire family. Lovely experience

Went on Bank Holiday Monday (today) at 5pm. It was busy, but the food was fresh and absolutely lovely! Plenty of choice and fresh food was being brought out all the time. The staff were quick at removing your empty plates. All round a very good visit!

We eat here quite often as a family and enjoy the food every time. The happiness of the staff could be improved but the food is good quality for the price. Also bring my staff here as a treat every now and then and have just booked a table for 8 of us for tonight ,

Best Chinese buffet I have ever had this food was amazing and the dessert are delicious I would definitely be recommending this restaurant and will be returning ❤️❤️

Fantastic buffet...been a few times now. Best times to go are as soon as they open for obvious reasons. But to be honest it's that busy most food doesn't sit very long. Desert selection is a little underwhelming but the mains and starters are fantastic quality for a buffet. Will definitely be back

Food at lunch time buffet was great ..such good value ..front of house staff member was quite rude though ..

20/08/2024 Sharp 2 o’clock and desserts all gone. 6 of us. They said they won’t fill again since it’s closing 2.30 but still they have published on google that the buffet is open till 2.30 and they even told us when we were paying. Think it’s a waste of money cuz we couldn’t enjoy desserts. Really disappointed. Will not go again. Very poor customer service.

Gone down hill .nothing like a couple of years ago .

Very expensive for low standard chewy meets I also don't like fraud they sell seaweed but its salted cabbage I can tell I work in a restaurant trading standards and police need to visit

Very good for all you can eat menu

There is a good collection of starters, mains and desserts. Normally in buffet places the taste of food is not there but in this buffet place it has taste and quality. The staff are great too. Only downside is the customers around, feels like the type of people who come here have just come back from a holiday in Spain with men in their shorts and women in their low vest top with flipflops. A lot of chav customers. but I’m not here for the customers but for the food. And that’s what matters.

Staff is so friendly and polite. I feel so welcomed and comfortable thanks to that. The food is amazing. There is such an amazing variety that anyone would find something they would like. Of course , ice ice cream is the stealer hahaha.

Been before and found to be all good. Went a few weeks ago and all I can say is never again. Food was well below expectations and food cuts including no duck.

BEWARE DONT COME AT LUNCH TIME. DISGUSTING FOOD.

Never had any problems! Love the buffet 👍

All you can eat,what a pleasurable experience I would definitely come here again with my sister Ang without a doubt you also pay for the meal when you go in to which they will ask " HOW MANY? follow these simple things and you will have a good time!!

Loved the beef dishes, beef curry, beef in oyster sauce, beef in black bean sauce? all lean and very tender, the rices and chips were great too, lots of variety and it all looked fresh. Some of the small items like samosas and spring rolls were a waste of time but I’d definitely go again 👍

The food was good , and the staff were courteous. I was a nice experience.

Great all you can eat buffet , food was delicious. Superb variation and cooked well . The seating is crammed but that's no issue . I wouldn't recommend it as a date location . Reasonable prices

Very tasty food but this time a bit too much salty

It was OK.. had better for the prices they are charging.

Beautiful food, can try things you've never tried from the Chinese before which is a bonus because the you know if you'll like it or not.. my fave is always the prawns, duck and seaweed 10/10 for deliciousness

Extremely friendly staff Place was spotless to say how many people are in Food can't complain! Everything we had was bang on! Would highly recommend

Went here for my birthday. They managed to accommodate 21 people over two long tables, and were really hospitable throughout. We overstayed their usual timings, but they kindly allowed us to move to another part of the restaurant to continue to enjoy ourselves. The crispy duck was perfect. Drinks are paid for separately, and there were no free refills as I’ve had at similar places before, but overall it was such a positive experience.

So ive been a few time but seems to be going down hill a bit £3.20 for a j 2 0 is a bit steep. The prawns was over cooked the best dish in my opinion was the pork in blackbean sauce. My son went for the first time said he dont want to go again as found two shards of steel in the pulled pork.

Loved it, nicest and really friendly staff. Amazing food and great clean service, took dirty plates from the table so fast and amazing deserts !!

Food was good, service, well there isn't any really you just pay as you go in then go help yourself, as for atmosphere if your gonna take your kids then teach them some respect and manners, had some little scrote of a kid trying to purposely stand on my foot because there scratty mum told him to do it all because I accidentally stepped on his when he pushed in between us waiting for food,good job she saw sense and sat back down 😉. Don't think il be going back, much nicer places to go 👌

Great restaurant with lovely staff. The banquet deal was worth every penny

Lovely food nice service good still very nice x

Great choice of dishes and the majority of food was really nice.

First time here but certainly not the last very good food and drink recommended to anyone.

Always amazing to come here to eat and socialise, highly recommend

Food was absolutely delicious! So much choice for all. Staff were absolutely lovely and so welcoming. Our first time visiting and we'll definitely be back!

Do not eat here!! Boy has place gone downhill. Visited Monday afternoon 27th May 2024. £43.90 just for the buffet for two adults which they take from you on entry., restaurant wasn’t at all busy like it used to be. Food was dry and undercooked, ordered some drinks which had to be paid for straight away and served to us in chipped glasses. Around our table the decor on the walls was all splashed with food matter and dirt which then made me take notice of the rest of the dirty surroundings, also I repaired wall behind the ice cream machine… the place needs a revamp and a good clean. The ladies and gents toilets omg they are dreadful, made me and my partner feel sick or maybe that was just the food as we were both ill the following day. Needs a visit by environmental health… if it got shut down again it could then be named New New Eastern Court

I haven't been here for a few years and was a bit concerned about some of the reviews. However, our experience was nothing like some of the descriptions on here, so I can only imagine that some people have a personal grievance, or find asking for what they want, challenging. I can understand that paying before you sit down, may be uncomfortable for some. However, I completely understand why they do that. It is so busy and customer turnover is swift, it makes sense. If you want extra drinks, you just go to the bar. The price is very fair. Essentially, you are getting a 2/3/4/5/6 (or whatever) course meal, for around £20. That's very reasonable these days. The choice of dishes is fantastic, and they are constantly being topped up. If you want something extra, you only need to ask. Just remember that when speaking to staff, English may not be their first language. If they seem rude, maybe it's just because they don't understand what you have said. Yorkshire dialect is not the easiest to understand. Overall, I would highly recommend. The food and service is fantastic 👌

Lunch menu is only 50% of main evening menu. But £12.99..night is £20.00 ish. But still plenty of choice.

Used to come all the time with my partner, we oay over £40 per time. They used to have a fully functioning ice cream machine but once it broke they never replaced it and still charge the same price. We used to spend loads coming here but won't be returning unless they replace the machine, it is what made this place good.

1st time going definitely come it was beautiful

Get there either around 5 or after 7:30 or will be queuing to get in from the car park

Have been to the buffet here several times now and every time it has been superb. A fantastic choice of food from soup, starters, mains and desserts. The staff are always attentive, clearing plates and making sure the food, cutlery, plates, etc are always available. It gets a bit manic at busy periods but the quality never suffers. 🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜

Delicious food, amazing variety, brilliant value for money, attentive staff. Thank you 👍

All you can eat, good variety of food. I thought it was a bit expensive tho as you have to pay extra for your drinks and a coke is £3 and not re-fillable.

Lovely food, very clean, staff are very attentive. Wish we lived closer

There was hardly any food out when we went. What was available was disgusting. The chicken was still pink with blood oozing out. Deserts were not available. Had to ask for them. Overall it wasn't a good experience. Will not be going back.

Without doubt the best buffet around, great food very well prepared and the staff are fantastic

Lovely value for money and food. Good selection of buffet food.

Love all you can eat, great for kids.

This is a hard place to review. We have been going there for years and the food can be lovely, but this time (1st April 2024) the food was not good. So dry and tasteless. We won't be going back for awhile, unfortunately.

Only decent member of staff was the lady who was behind the bar I went for birthday meal with 5 others we arrived at 8 there was hardly any choice of meals not even chow-miens or anything the chicken balls where pick put us off straight away the desert area was basically empty and food trays where also I mentioned to a youngish member of staff asking where half off the products were and he stated we don’t use half of the areas anymore which was fair to say due to Covid then I mentioned how there was hardly any food in the areas which were being used he said why should we cook more food when there isn’t many customers or put out more deserts or anything. So why did I have to pay 109 just for meals when there was no selection or any decent food out things that were available either too salty or just undercooked like the chicken balls. And stuff member was just rude making out I was in the wrong for asking if there was anything to be put out as I paid full for 6 people and yet there was hardly any options to choose from we was offered no discounted price as they refused to fill up anything or just because there was hardly any options so it was a waste of money because some people had one small plate and wasted it as chicken was pink (chicken ball) it was a waste of money as we didn’t even leave full as there was no food and we pre booked so they knew we was arriving I booked weeks ahead Iv emailed the place to discuss but maybe we just had an unlucky visit highly unsatisfied

Loved the new lay out, you may think it's pricey, I paid £49 for 2, with drinks, and it's all you can eat and eat and eat, and the food was lovely, and you have a kiddies food section too and dessert area, what's not to like

As per many previous reviews; paid on arrival and forced to pay full price for 2 and 4 year old (didn't even measure) after being sternly told that a smaller plate could not be offered and plate sharing with children was prohibited. As a party of 9, we were seated at a table with only 6 chairs and members of our party had to go to find the additional chairs. Food was ok; large selection but low quality and very salty. Staff were very busy and had very little regard for customer satisfaction. However, the custom shows this is a popular restaurant- there were around 40 people waiting to be seated as we were leaving. I would not choose to revisit but understand why do many people go- it's relatively cheap with a huge amount of food to choose from with no plate limit.

Very nice food, load of choice. Don't know what all the bad reviews are about.

Been coming here for years, great food. Very fast staff. highly recommend.

Food was excellent. Went on a Saturday afternoon, 22 pound all you can eat. Very happy.

Was walking my dog on an evening. Passing this place I look through the window and saw two rats one on the table and one on the floor. I can’t believe this disgusting

5 of us went here tonight. We got a warm welcome from staff, the food was first class and so much choice. Excellent value for money. We will be back sooner rather than later.

Normally leave this place full and happy but my experience today has put me off returning as food was not kept hot and also before we had finished eating a table was put at the end of our table for us to be told someone else is waiting for the table and we need to leave as we have been here for an hour and a half when I checked the time it had been just over an hour this then made my 6 year old daughter feel like she had to rush her food causing her to become upset and cry as we was leaving the staff member was very rude in the way he spoke to me and didn't listen when told my daughter wants to finish her food saying we would have to move tables to finish our pudding also plastic found in our food they claimed to be noodles

We had lunch, really nice food. Lovely clean place. Very attentive staff.

Food was awful ! Beef tasted old ! Chicken balls were pink ! The place was filthy food splattered everywhere needs a good clean ! Won’t be going back

Rude staff, no customer service skills nor manners! The first time I visited a couple years ago, we were ‘greeted’ by rude staff and expected to pay before even being seated, not knowing what drinks they had to offer or the price of them. The food was salty and had no flavour other than salt. We said we wouldn’t be going back there but we thought to give it another go, which I wish we didn’t. It was the same again and we were given a table number and expected to find the table ourselves instead of being seated like at any normal restaurant (unless you’re welcome to pick your own seating); we were told we have 90 mins before we even paid or were seated. When we got to our table we asked a staff member if the Highchair could be cleaned; his response was, ‘the spray and paper towel are over there’ 😳 after asking for a manager, he said he was a manager and continued to say he was busy and walked off. EXTREMELY OUT OF ORDER! When I went up to get myself and daughter some food, a man told us to, ‘move, move, move’, so he could refill the food trays, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE! I had to say to him, ‘that is not how you talk to someone, manners do not cost anything.’ He sarcastically said sorry 🙄 Also whilst getting my food and eating, all I could hear was CLASH, BANG, BANG! Staff just knocking plates about whilst emptying them, not having any consideration at all to the diners. Then to sum up our special occasion out, we were then put under pressure to hurry and leave, as the same ‘management’ guy came and put an extra table at the end of ours saying something like, ‘this is for the next customers, as you have 5 minutes left at your table’. Absolutely disgraceful. I will definitely not be returning and will be telling everybody about the poor experiences I have had at this so called restaurant!

My personal experience was absolutely appalling like the worst you could ever imagine!!!!!!……. I booked a table a whole week before the date I needed which was fine, the day of my arrival I was told I need to pay first without receiving a menu to see what I would like to drink, to be seated at a table to know I actually have a table like the service was shocking I was charged a whopping bill for my table which I was not expecting whilst being an NHS worker (No Discount) babies under 1 charged a whole £10 when they don’t even eat solid foods still on formula…….. Then being told I have the table for 90 minutes before even knowing where I’m going I had to walk down the isles myself to find my table number which is ridiculous, when I got to my table 1 high chair was in the worst condition I asked a worker if I could get it cleaned or replaced please as I was holding my few months old baby in my arms and in my disgust to hear the reply I got “The wipe and cleaner spray is over there, I am busy!” I have NEVER been so shocked and taken back in all my life of the customer service and overall experience and manners of these workers. I demanded to speak to a high member of management and was told again in disgust “I am one of the managements here” all this whilst still holding my baby in my arms. I will definitely NOT be returning to this despicable place again and actually are quite shocked as to the way an innocent customer has been treated. It makes me wonder who else has been treated this way and how it gets dealt with!. I would recommend NOT to even consider this so called ‘Restaurant’ as you get treated and judged before you even step through the doors!!!…

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE food was all undercooked chicken pink duck pink quite scary when your checking your food before you eat it thank god I did staff shocking couldn’t tell who worked there because of there uniform! Fish at the front entrance not looked after properly to big for the tank, tank was dirty not properly looked after at all
